can not install on windows server 2008 r2 - rinaka - 2018-09-24
I downloaded everything (latest forum).
Copied everything from the 'upload' folder and put all in a folder called 'forum' where my website resides (inetpub\mywebsite\forum).
For the installation purpose I have allowed for the website (mywebsite) IIS_IUSR full control
so the 'forum' folder inherits the permission. So everything should be ok. Right ?
So I tried running :
http://mywebsite.com\forum\install
I get :
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
I have turned off the firewall and restarted the web server before the attempt.
So how can I install ?
